The Pagan Roots of Environmentalism



All talk about Environmentalism derived from Paganism. Dasa putro sama druma - One tree = Ten sons, averr the Veda.


Trees are carbon storage units, they absorb Co2 and give out Oxygen. Trees and water reservoirs enable Evapotranpiration in the Water Cycle. Trees are very important and no wonder our ancestors, who lived in harmony with Nature, hailed trees as sons !


Today is the World Envrionment Day. Let us plant trees and go green !

It is said of Kerala that She is a state clad in a green Silk Saree, Pacha Pattudutha Keralam. So magnificently has Nature landscaped her in greenish hue. The primary cause of this phenomenon is that she gets 3 Monsoons, the South West, The North East and the Summer Monsoons. She gets more than 3000 mm rains per year. The definition of a desert is a place which gets less than 250 mm rains annually. No wonder Koppen, the German climatologist, called her Tropical Wet  and one of the best rainfall areas in India ! The entire Malabar Belt of 825 km gets these three Monsoon and is green !
